Ingredients

1 1/2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tbsp dried Parsley

2 Garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 cup dry Orzo
1 1/4 cups Water

Third, place the salmon in the pan skin-side down, cooking for about three to five minutes or until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for one to two minutes.
Now, remove the salmon from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the garlic and the remaining Italian seasoning. Sauté for one minute, then add the orzo, water, and cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine.
To finish, bring the salmon back to the pan. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the water has absorbed and the orzo is cooked through.
